Love the composition & processing, Nancy, and agree it has a great sense of motion. Like the colors, dust trail and cowboy look to this very much. Very minor, but wishing for just a little more detail in face of both rider and horse. Nice work!
I like what you did with this, Nancy. The placement of the horse and rider is effective in not only showing the cloud of dust but in adding to the feel of motion that the Fractalius effect produced. The fact that they're already that far across the frame suggests to me, at least, that they're moving rapidly. I like the color intensity and the contrasting warm and cool colors. This might put me in the minority, but the lack of detail in the faces seems consistent with the motion and with the overall look of the image, so it may be a good thing.
Thank you everyone. I tried quite a few filters and combinations before I settled upon this one. As Dennis comments "the lack of detail in the faces seems consistent with the motion and with the overall look of the image, so it may be a good thing." Since I have no more detail I hoped it would be o.k. as is!
